Thank you for sharing the personal experiences you went through to get where you are now. What you shared with me about your situation brought tears to my eyes...both for your pain and the similarities to what I am going through now. I admire your strength in managing some rather significant challenges on your own.

I actually just sat and looked at the computer screen for a few moments thinking how difficult life is for so many people.... How few know the intimate struggles of our lives and how we get up every day as if it is a new opportunity to win.

I've never really told anyone my difficulties as I don't want to appear weak both to myself or others. However, I am beginning to realize that I can do little more on my own.

I hope to find the strength (that you have) to do what needs to be done for my family...with whatever consequences/benefits that comes with that discovery. Thanks for all of your insights and support. It means a lot to me.
